NASCAR Cup PR

Circuit of the Americas (COTA) opened its gates in October 2012 as the first in the United States to be purpose-built for Formula One (F1).

A fresh NASCAR Cup Series season always brings renewed promise and hope for the field, but the visit to Circuit of The Americas for Sunday’s DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix Powered by RelaDyne also brings a few familiar road-racing favorites into focus.

For the third straight week, all three of NASCAR’s top touring series will be in action, but they won’t all be in the same location.

Graza, the beloved brand known for its single origin Extra Virgin Olive Oils, will serve as the primary partner on Brad Keselowski’s No. 6 Ford Mustang for the March 1 NASCAR Cup Series race at Circuit of the Americas (COTA).

The unofficial slogan is “Keep Austin Weird,” an acknowledgement of the Texas city’s eclectic style whose inhabitants take pride in zigging while others zag.

Blaney try to take the momentum in the top lane to the front, but ultimately crossed the line 10th to log the No. 12 team's first top-10 finish of the season.

Hotlanta was anything but on Sunday afternoon, still Roush Fenway Keselowski (RFK) Racing found ways to heat things up.

The damage sustained in the Lap 82 incident was too severe for the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang Dark Horse to continue, resulting in a 38th-place finish.

Hocevar lined up on the outside of the front row of NASCAR Overtime and raced for the lead at the white flag before crossing the finish line in fourth to earn his first top-five result of the year.
